Iran's Khamenei Says Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis Act Independently, Rejects ‘Proxy Force’ Accusations

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has rejected claims that groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis act as proxy forces for Tehran. Speaking on Sunday, Khamenei emphasized that these groups operate independently based on their own interests and decisions, while acknowledging Iran’s support for their causes. Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Palestine, and the Houthis in Yemen are often accused by Western nations of serving as Iran’s regional proxies to expand its influence.

Iran Accuses U.S, Israel & Turkey of Collapsing Assad's Regime in Syria – Khamenei's Shocking Claims

In a bold statement, Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, has accused the United States, Israel, and Turkey of orchestrating the downfall of Bashar al-Assad's government in Syria. Khamenei claims that the collapse of Assad's regime is the result of a joint "American-Zionist" plot, with Turkey also playing a significant role. This comes after the rapid advance of rebel forces in Syria, led by the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which resulted in Assad’s regime losing control over key territories.

Russian President Vladimir Putin escalated the war with a revenge-driven drone assault on Ukraine, launching more than 100 drones on December 22, a day after Ukraine struck high-rise buildings in Kazan, Russia. The attack targeted multiple Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, Kherson, Mykolayiv, and Zaporizhzhya, causing significant damage to businesses and apartment buildings. Ukrainian air defenses managed to intercept 52 of the 103 drones, preventing casualties, though the strikes intensified fears of further infrastructure destruction.
